Name CH 204 DateExperiment 3: Atomic Spectroscopy Introduction The purpose of the atomic spectroscopy lab experiment was to investigate the relationship between visible light‚ which is the visibly observable range of electromagnetic radiation and the change in energy levels of an element. The line spectrum that was seen in the spectroscope was the evidence of excited atoms emitting electrons and radiating a spectrum of light as it moved from a higher energy state back down to a lower energy level

The Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki Written By: Nicholas Phandoe World War II began on September 1st‚ 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland and then ended on September 2nd‚ 1945 with the signing of the surrender documents from Japan aboard the American Battleship USS Missouri. During the course of 1941 when the US joined WWII‚ and 1945 when it ended over 291‚000 US American

Conclusions The purpose of this experiment was to find the relationship between a substance’s specific heat and its atomic weight. In the lab‚ the substances with the higher atomic weights had less specific heat. From this‚ we can conclude that specific heat and atomic weight have an inverse relationship‚ meaning as one decreases the other increases. The reason for this is because if atoms are small‚ or light‚ they have the ability to pack tightly together‚ leaving almost no space between them

Dropping the Atomic Bomb is not necessary for many reasons such as the following. The Ground and Naval wars are progressing strongly and also Japan is already on defense. The ground war is doing very well and has worked for us so far so why not continue. Some may say that the mountainous region of Japan could lead to the death of many American soldiers but the Japanese soldiers would have many fatalities so it would even out instead of just killing many innocent Japanese. The Naval war was making

Atomic bombs were the first nuclear weapons to be developed‚ tested‚ and used. In the late 1930s physicists in Europe and the United States realized that the fission of uranium could be used to create an extremely powerful explosive weapon. In August 1939‚ German American physicist Albert Einstein sent a letter to U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt that described this discovery and warned of its potential development by other nations. The U.S. government established the top secret Manhattan Project

The use of the atomic bomb remains controversial to this day. There are academics and policy makers of the time that still disagree on the whether it was justifiable to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki. They debate if it truly was in the interest of ending the war sooner and with less loss of life. Several issues played together to help form the opinion that Truman acted for more nefarious purposes. Domestic as well as international politics is said to have played a role in the decision of Truman

Frighten Japan into surrendering with revolutionary weapons (i.e. the atomic bomb). Dropping atomic bombs‚ Little Boy and Fat Man‚ on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was legitimate and necessary to defeat Japan because it was the quickest and most effective option to induce Japan to surrender‚ prevent further destruction of the Japanese mainland

The USA will do whatever they can to protect their people like inventing the atomic bomb which they used to end World War 2. To drop the atomic bombs to stop the war they used the planes “Enola Gay” and “Bockscar”.(atomcentral) The first bomb was “Little Boy” was carried by Enola Gay while “Fat Man” was carried by Bockscar.(atomcentral) Little Boy was the first

A few years after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor‚ Truman and the US military responded with dropping two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hard decisions were made with this war strategy and some important lessons were learned from this. Based on the circumstances‚ the US was justified in military action against Japan‚ however; dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki shouldn’t have happened. Thousands Civilians were killed over two cities of no real importance in gaining ground
